When the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission tabled Bringing them home, its report into the separation of indigenous children from their families, it was criticised for failing to consider Indigenous child welfare within the context of contemporary standards. Non-Indigenous people who had experienced out-of-home care also questioned why their stories were not recognised. This thesis addresses those concerns, examining the origins and history of the welfare systems of NSW and Tasmania between 1880 and 1940. Tasmania, which had no specific policies on race or Indigenous children, provides fruitful ground for comparison with NSW, which had separate welfare systems for children defined as Indigenous and non-Indigenous. This thesis draws on the records of these systems to examine the gaps between ideology and policy and practice. The development of welfare systems was uneven, but there are clear trends. In the years 1880 to 1940 non-Indigenous welfare systems placed their faith in boarding-out (fostering) as the most humane method of caring for neglected and destitute children, although institutions and juvenile apprenticeship were never supplanted by fostering. Concepts of child welfare shifted from charity to welfare; that is, from simple removal to social interventions that would assist children's reform. These included education, and techniques to enlist the support of the child's family in its reform. The numbers of non-Indigenous children taken into care were reduced by economic and environmental measures, such as payments to single mothers. The NSW Aborigines Protection Board dismissed boarding-out as an option for Indigenous children and applied older methods, of institutionalisation and apprenticeship, to children it removed from reserves. As non-Indigenous welfare systems in both states were refined, the Protection Board clung to its original methods. It focussed on older children, whilst allowing reserves to deteriorate, and reducing the rights of Aboriginal people. This cannot simply be explained by race, for Tasmania did not adopt the same response. This study shows that the policies of the Aborigines Protection Board were not consonant with wider standards in child welfare of the time. However, the common thread between Indigenous and non-Indigenous child removal was the longing of children and their families for each other.

Esta pesquisa documenta e analisa as perspectivas da nova pedagogia que está sendo gestada no movimento dos aposentados/as, pensionistas e idosos, na Bahia, como estratégia para (re)afirmar sua condição de sujeito social de defesa dos direitos da pessoa idosa no contexto de reconfiguração dos movimentos sociais na América Latina. Tal análise se insere no marco da definição dos princípios de uma nova cidadania, cujo conteúdo se assenta no paradigma da emancipação relacionada às idades/gerações e gênero na perspectiva feminista e de classe social. Este estudo qualitativo, com detalhamento etnográfico, foi pautado, basicamente, na observação direta com registro sistemático em diário de campo e em entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas, tanto dos participantes quanto de dirigentes do movimento articulado pelo Fórum Permanente em Defesa do Idoso, em Salvador, Bahia, campo empírico desta pesquisa, num total de trinta e seis entrevistados. A empiria desta análise centra-se em três entidades: uma que pauta suas ações em reivindicações estritamente políticas, constituída por homens em sua maioria e duas outras, com composição majoritária de mulheres, prioriza as atividades culturais e de lazer. Os resultados indicam que a nova pedagogia desenhada pelo movimento dos aposentados/as e pensionistas, na Bahia, vem promovendo o desenvolvimento da consciência crítica, quanto a seus direitos, do maior número possível de pessoas que envelhecem, notadamente as mulheres. Vem propiciando mudanças na consciência dessas pessoas, no que diz respeito à ruptura do tradicional papel definido no âmbito das relações geracionais e de gênero. As mulheres idosas vêm assumindo não só funções pouco prestigiadas, como em tempos anteriores, mas também aquelas investidas de maior poder de decisão na organização do movimento. Suas habilidades adquiridas no processo de formação durante a vida toda vêm sendo apropriadas pelo movimento político dos/as idosos/as de uma maneira positiva. Concluo que uma nova imagem de si, de sua condição de velho e velha, informada por novos valores, vai-se formatando e impondo o reconhecimento de uma nova representação por toda a sociedade. O movimento dos aposentados e pensionistas está alcançando as demandas mais amplas e significativas do cotidiano das pessoas idosas e assim vem ampliando sua base de sustentação. Nesse percurso os/as idosos/as vão se empoderando, (re)afirmando-se como sujeito social/político e se permitindo envelhecer com liberdade. No âmbito das relações de poder que dão conteúdo aos conflitos entre as gerações, formata-se uma nova correlação de forças que vai definindo um novo lugar social para a velhice, de onde se fazem ouvir as gerações de velhos/as trabalhadores/as como interlocutoras das demandas de todos/as os/as idosos/as. The movement of the retired and pensioners has striven to take an active role in the context of democratic participation. This research documents and analyzes the perspectives of the new pedagogy that's been gestated in the movement of the retired, pensioners and the elderly in Bahia, as a strategy to (re)affirm their condition of social subjects in the defense of the elderly's rights in the context of the reconfiguration of social movements in Latin America. Such an analysis is part of the mark of the definition of the principles of a new citizenship, whose contents are based on the paradigm of the emancipation related to ages/generations and gender, under the feminist perspective and that of social class. This qualitative study, containing ethnographic details, was supported, basically, on direct observation with systematic registrations on a diary and on individual semi-structured interviews of both the participants and the directors of the movement articulated by The Permanent Forum in the Defense of the Elderly, in Salvador, Bahia, empirical field of this research, totalizing thirty-six interviewees. The empirical nature of this analysis is centered in three entities: one that bases its actions on strictly political claims, mostly consisting of men, and the other two entities, whose members are mostly women, which prioritize cultural and leisure activities. The results indicate that the new pedagogy designed by the movement of the retired and pensioners, in Bahia, has promoted the development of critical thinking, regarding their rights, in the largest number of people who get old, notably women. It’s been encouraging changes in these people’s minds concerning the rupture of the traditional role defined in the scope of generation and gender relations. A new image of themselves, of their status of old men or women, informed by new values, formats itself and imposes the acknowledgement of a new representation by all the society. In the meantime, the elderly empower and (re)affirm themselves as social/political subjects and allow themselves to grow old with freedom. Elderly women have taken not only unprivileged roles, like in times before, but also those invested of more decisionmaking power in the organization of the movement. Their skills acquired in the formation process during all their lives have been appropriated by the political movement of the elderly in a positive way. The movement of the retired and pensioners is reaching wider and more significant demands of elderly people’s everyday life and, therefore, has been enlarging its supporting basis. I conclude that, in the scope of power relationships which foment generation gap conflicts, a new correlation of forces is formatted which defines a new social place for the old age where one can hear the generations of old male and female workers as interlocutors of the elderly’s demands. / The movement of the retired and pensioners has striven to take an active role in the context of democratic participation.

Cette thèse propose une étude des cultures enfantines et des rapports intergénérationnels à partir de l’alimentation. Les pratiques alimentaires des enfants, leurs représentations ainsi que celles de leurs parents à leur égard sont envisagées comme un observatoire des relations entre enfants ainsi qu’entre les adultes et les plus jeunes. A partir d’une méthodologie qualitative, il s’agit de donner toute leur place aux discours des enfants (âgés de 4 à 12 ans) et de leurs parents, pour interroger la dynamique des rapports intra et intergénérationnels. Au carrefour de la sociologie de l’enfance et de l’alimentation, ce travail s’attache à analyser la construction des cultures enfantines et des appartenances à différents groupes d’âges ainsi qu’à observer les effets des normes sociales et des modèles éducatifs qui régulent les consommations enfantines. Les rapports de genre, les origines sociales et les lieux d’habitation sont autant de facteurs qui influencent ces logiques. De façon transversale, cette recherche est l’occasion d’interroger la place de l’enfant dans les sociétés contemporaines occidentales. / This PhD proposes to study children’s cultures and intergenerational relationships by observing foodconsumption. Children’s practices with food, their representations as well as those of their parents on their consumption of food are considered as an observatory of relationships between children and between adults and younger. Developing a qualitative methodology, it is given its rightful place to the children discourses (aged 4 to 12 years) and those of their parents to explore the dynamics of intra and intergenerational relationships. At the intersection of sociology of childhood and food, this work focuses on analyzing the construction of children’s cultures and of belongings to different age groups. It also questions the effects of social norms and educational patterns regulating children consumption of food. Gender relations, social origins and spaces of residence are important factors that influence these logics. Transversely, this research is an opportunity to examine the social place of the child in contemporary Western societies.

[pt] O presente trabalho buscou verificar as possíveis relações entre violência conjugal e transmissão psíquica geracional. Esse estudo é relevante pela alta prevalência da violência contra a mulher e por essa ser considerada problema de saúde pública. O objetivo principal deste trabalho foi investigar a possível transmissão da violência de uma geração à outra, identificando se houve a ocorrência da mesma também na família de origem e suas prováveis ressonâncias. Averiguou-se também que violências as vítimas sofreram e como as mesmas eram conceituadas por elas, assim como se buscou compreender como os abusos estavam presentes em suas vidas. Para alcançar os objetivos, realizou-se pesquisa de campo qualitativa, entrevistando nove mulheres vítimas de violência física de parceiros íntimos, através de entrevista por bate-papo na internet. O procedimento utilizado foi o Método de Explicitação do Discurso Subjacente (MEDS). Os resultados obtidos indicaram nítida repetição da violência entre os familiares, seja na posição de algoz, seja na de vítima. / [en] This study aims at evaluating the possible relationship between domestic violence and generational psychic transmission. It is relevant due to the high prevalence of violence against women, and because this is actually considered a public health problem. The main objective was to investigate the possible transmission of violence from one generation to another and its probable resonance. It examines what types of violence the victims suffered and how they conceptualized it. To achieve the objectives, a qualitative fieldwork was carried out interviewing nine women victims of physical violence by intimate partners through means of Internet chat conferences. The procedure used was the Underlying Discourse Unveiling Method (UDUM). The results indicate a clear repetition of violence among family members, from the standpoint of the perpetrator and of the victim.

This thesis is a reception analysis using qualitative interviews to investigate black students' watching of a South African soap opera, Generations, taking into account the context of a largely white South African university campus. The findings of this study are that students find pleasure in talking about Generations and hold seemingly contradictory views on whether it is 'realistic' or not. The analysis concludes that watching Generations does serve to affirm these students' black identity, since there is a particular need to do so on a campus where black students witness and experience racial discrimination.

[pt] A partir das considerações de Bill Nichols sobre a histórica relação entre o documentário e os discursos de sobriedade, e as de Jean-Louis Comolli sobre a capacidade do documentário de estar aberto à alteridade do real, que o perturba e o convoca, este trabalho investiga representações do real durante a década de 1980 no Brasil, momento decisivo da chamada transição política pós-ditadura militar. Para tal, analisa os filmes Terra para Rose (1987, Tetê Moraes), Linha de Montagem (1981, Renato Tapajós), Céu Aberto (1985, João Batista de Andrade), Que bom te ver viva (1989, Lúcia Murat), Cabra marcado para morrer (1984, Eduardo Coutinho), Jânio a 24 quadros (1981, Luiz Alberto Pereira), Mato Eles? (1982, Sérgio Bianchi), e a série de quatro episódios (produzida para a TV Manchete), Japão: uma viagem no tempo (1986, João Moreira Salles). A hipótese apresentada é que esse conjunto de filmes expressam, em sua diversidade, o choque geracional que os anos 80 trazem ao Brasil, seja pela entrada do vídeo como nova forma de linguagem, seja pelo desgaste dos discursos de sobriedade, seja pelo desgaste do pensamento sobre o Brasil. / [en] This dissertation starts with the Bill Nichols s considerations about the historical relationship between documentary and the discourses of sobriety, and also Jean-Louis Comolli thoughts on the documentary s abilities of being open to the otherness of the real, which disturbs it and convokes it, this paper investigates representations of the real during the 1980 s in Brazil, a decisive moment of the so called political transition that took place after the end of the militar dictatorship. To do so, it analyzes the films Terra para Rose (1987, Tetê Moraes), Linha de Montagem (1981, Renato Tapajós), Céu Aberto (1985, João Batista de Andrade), Que bom te ver viva (1989, Lucia Murat), Cabra marcado para morrer (1984, Eduardo Coutinho), Jânio a 24 quadros (1981, Luiz Alberto Pereira), Mato Eles? (1982, Sérgio Bianchi) and the four episodes series (made by TV Manchete), Japão: uma viagem no tempo (1986, João Moreira Salles). The hypothesis presented is that these films express, in their diversities, the generational shock that the 80 s bring to Brazil, whether by the introduction of video as new form of language, whether by the wear of the discourses of sobriety, whether by the wear of the thoughts about Brazil.

The aim of the thesis is to systematically present, analyse and critically reflect Hans Jonas's (1903-1993) conception of moral responsibility with respect to his axiological ontology, anthropology, speculative theology and conception of modern technology with account of the most important topically relevant German secondary sources, including the latest ones. The first chapter maps the relevant Czech and Slovak secondary sources, whereby it evaluates to what extent Jonas's ethics of responsibility represented a general or applied approach, whether it was only an ethics of survival and whether in this context Jonas's thinking can be labelled anthropocentric. The second chapter offers insight primarily into Jonas's ethical thought in the chronological context of his life. The third chapter analyses Jonas's axiological ontology, anthropology, speculative theology and conception of modern technology. Against this philosophical and speculative-theological background the fourth chapter critically examines Jonas's conception of moral responsibility proper. The fifth chapter critically reflects on both the philosophical and speculative-theological background of Jonas's conceptions of responsibility and the conception itself. An excursus into applied ethics, which concludes the fifth chapter and the work as a whole, finally solves a topical ethical challenge in the sphere of assisted reproduction having to do with the categorical imperative of Jonas's responsibility for future generations. The main results of critical analysis and reflection: Jonas's ethics of responsibility is a supplementary applied conception, an ethics of survival, whose normative axiom commands the preservation (perpetuation) of the human capacity to responsibility. Jonas's thought is monistically anthropocentric. That follows from Jonas's integral monism, in which the difference between god and world, spirit and matter, reality and possibility is levelled out. These monistic confusions are more or less also projected into the ethical points of departure of Jonas's conception of responsibility, especially his specific axiological onto(theo)logy, in which the difference between ontology and axiology is levelled out. The main characteristic of Jonas's proper conception of responsibility consists in confusion (identification) of the object of responsibility with the instance of responsibility - from which at the level of theory of responsibility Jonas's specific two-place relationship of responsibility (subject - object=instance) follows. Although Jonas within his ethics of responsibility, in order to justify responsibility for future generations, broadened his specific two-place relationship to a three-place one, the author of this thesis finds none of the versions of Jonas's three-place relationship plausible - though the author agrees that an at least three-place conception of responsibility is necessary (instance - subject - object). However, for a more differentiated analysis of responsibility a five-place conception is suitable (normative standard - instance - subject - action - object affected by the action), with respect to the possibility of solving some of the problems of Jonas's responsibility for future generations a six-place conception (last instance - normative standard - instance - subject - action - object affected by the action).
